Review:

Costume Chaos from reflexive Entertainment's is a fun and fast-paced time management game that has you dressing up your customers in all kinds of outrageous outfits. It's got a few new twists to add to the genre, too.
The game starts in Hawaii, with shop-assistant Cleo just itching to explore the world. She needs money to do this, obviously, so she decides to work in her Mother's costume shop. From there, she travels to nine different costume shop locations, working her way from Hawaii to Texas, England, Transylvania, Dubai, India, the Caribbean, New Orleans, and Hollywood.
In the costume station, you use the mouse to hover the different costumes until you find one that makes the customer smile. Similarly, in the hair style station, you scroll through a bunch of styles until the customer smiles at the proper selection. The face/accessories station has you placing various items in their proper places on a character's head, like hats and make up and jewelry. The fitting station has you measuring customers by dragging the mouse along the arrows, and the alterations station has you snipping material by clicking the mouse over the dashed line.
Each of the nine locations has it's own theme, like “pirates” in the Caribbean, and “the Renaissance” in England. These themes are generally (but not always) shown in the costume selection, so there's a bit of variety. Mostly, however, the layout stays the same in each place.

Conclusion:

As a new twist, in the corner of the screen is a small match 3 game, which runs as you play. If you want to enjoy a fast paced time management games in general, then Costume Chaos is a good one to try.
